Easily the best Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh. Go here as much as possible
Food was decent, but service was really slow, drinks were flat (despite being out of cans supposedly) and we were squashed into a small area, despite there being bigger tables in the other room. Shame because it’s a nice place, but don’t think we’ll be back
The only truly authentic Mexican in Edinburgh. Definitely a must eat.
Quirky, cosy, place. Good food, good service. Will definitely return.
First visit in over 2 years due to the pandemic. We’ve been visited for over 20 years. And it’s still awesome despite all that has happened. Loved it, brilliant!
Brilliant evening, noise level had nothing to do with the restaurant, just a number of patrons that had no social boundaries 🤣 I will return, fantastic!
The food wasn’t the greatest and a bit cold but the service was horrendous. It took 15 mins to get the bill then another 20 for them finally to bring the card machine. Deffo wouldn’t dream of going back there
Warm welcome. Attentive service. Tasty food. Great margarita! Great atmosphere!
Amazing food, great service and brilliant drinks. Love ❤️ .
Really lovely food. We were sat by the door and the main area was downstairs but they have nice decor and the food is really authentic
Really nice. They let us stay for a long time. Nice food and drinks
good, food was tasty, I enjoyed it a lot. would go back
Love Viva Mexico. Authentic food, great margaritas and never fails to impress!
Viva Mexico has long been a family favourite restaurant, but sadly tonights visit was disappointing. My vegetable enchiladas were cold in the middle, as was my husband's fish tacos. The waitress clearly didn't understand a request for a gluten free dessert, which was awkward for my son who has only recently been advised to go gluten free.
Viva mexico is one of ours favourite place to eat in Edinburgh. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food was fabulous as always.
Arrived slightly earlier than the booking and was shown straight to the table. Food was delicious, but there was an new staff member working who made a few mistakes in forgetting to order a few drinks and taking plates to another table then bringing to us. Putting down to nerves.
What can I say? We have been visiting since 1985 and although the place has changed the food and service, as always, is excellent.
Viva Mexico is the best Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh & the only 1 we ever go to.
always a fantastic food event and service at this amazing authentic mexican eaterie xxxxxx
Lovely meal in pleasant surroundings. Staff very friendly and food served very quickly. Friend had the steak with garlic butter and said it was the best he'd ever had. All the food was delicious and reasonably priced too. Will go back and would highly recommend.
Friendly and helpful staff, great food, lots of vegan options.
Nice Mexican food and a friendly welcome, a favourite destination
Food was amazing and the service was very good and fast
Wonderful as always, our favourite eatery in Edinburgh. Welcoming, great food and service. First time with our toddler and he loved it as much as we do.
Amazing! We had such a great time and the food was delicious :)
The service is excellent and the food is super tasty. Came all the way from Glasgow to dine in Viva Mexico. Always a treat.
Amazing good as always and great service and drinks, thank you
Welcoming & courteous staff. Tasty and plentiful food - starter & main on set menu. Spicey soup & enchilada. Clean toilets; staff directed me there as tucked away in basement.
My husbands family has been visiting since the 80’s and introduced me to the restaurant 14 years ago. The quality of the food and service remain the same: Outstanding.
Great although due to Covid distance Guidelines not as much buzz but their fault!
We have a glorious time. Everything was amazing, the only thing I would say is that the tables were a bit to close to each other. I realise it is quite a small space and it didn't bother us that much. It's such a difficult time for independent businesses!
Service was impeccable considering how busy it was and very quick and quality of food was not affected by the busyness of the restaurant
Great food, Great service & great margarita. Always go when we visit Edinburgh and never disappointed.
Food was great and service quick and efficient. As good as ever.

Great service Fantastic photo shoot Ppe was great spunk deflectors worked well
nice friendly atmosphere, with amazing food, will definitely go back
Two of us had chicken which was boiled not fried so lacked texture and taste - disappointing. The other two in the group had beef and pork - very tasty and full of flavour. Service was very good however one member of staff didn't ever smile.
Enjoyable meal. Great service and staff very informative and helpful. Thanks!!!!😃
The food and service were great. And the mojitos were great too!
